DJs often neglect the crucial task of informing themselves about the importance of hearing protection until it's too late.

Thank you for the mention Carlo! Such valuable information you're putting out there. And with that being said: I think I need to dive into my library and clean my pile of tracks that I have in there doing nothing 😅

This video makes so much sense, I have clean up and and organize my music library due to having so much music that comes in. Plus I have to put time into practicing techniques to make cleaner mixes, using filters and mini sets/routines etc. thank you Carlo my bro! Always appreciate you and your work ethics, professionalism!

so true! having a cleaner library has helped me perfect my sets and made me so happy with one that I uploaded my first RU-vid video yesterday! i also watched your how to edit and make DJ mixes video, it was so helpful for my upload❤ thank you!!

Amazing points Carlo. Thank you for being such an amazing leader for all of us learning and passionate DJs. I always learn something new from you ✌️❤️.

last step is so real. love u dj carlo

Great advice, Thank you for the different outlook on life.

Love this video and all the topics covered! Big up bro!

Great video Carlo ! I cannot wait until you drop new crazy mix 😎You are the best 😁👍

I totally agree! Thank you brother!

Thank you Carlo ❤

Right on DJ Carlo- I’ve been working all weekend for my DJ set Valentine’s Day-very helpful video DJ Carlo

Wow!!! great tips!

You really are a treasure, amazing advice throughout. Engaging and informative, thank you 🙏🏼✨

Thanks for the pep talk Carlo 👍

The last point is the most important. Amazing vid!

Love your videos!! Keep up the Excellent work !!

hey Carlo,that was a real good pep talk at the end,very insightful..keep up the good work man...cheers

I needed that ty

This is solid advice to anyone watching this vid...PLEASE READ AND I HOPE YOU TAKE THIS INFO BECAUSE I MESSED UP AND AM PAYING FOR IT RN: 1)Do NOT download a bunch of songs and immediately start mixing. Start with like 20 here, learn to mix them, 20 there, learn to mix them, and so on. SLOWLY build ur library 2)Actually probably more important than 1: MAKE SURE ALL AUDIO IS 320kbps and OR HIGHER (e.g. mp4 lossless, FLAC, AIFF, or WAV). USE ONLY 320kbps OR HIGER MP3s IF UR GOING TO USE MP3s 3) Learn about beat counts or bars: mixing on 16 bar or 32 bar/32 beat or 64 beat of intros and outros, the last chorus of songs, or on builds. Set hot cues/memor cues based off this mostly because it makes mixing easy 3)Immediately learn camelot codes or circle of fifths (circle is technically better but requires more work) and know how they fit together 4) Start making edits of your own IMMEDIATELY for songs that dont work real well for mixing or dont have intros and outros 5)Organize libraries by playlist ideas/moods not necessarily by genres. Analyze energies and how songs might fit where. If you do organize songs by genre, make the genre a master crate and then have moods/energies/timeslots as subcrates If you start out IMMEDIATELY checking off these boxes, your life will be SO much easier and you wont have to back and fix your library MULTIPLE times like me🤦‍♂️😥

Great information bro!!! 🏆

Hi Carlo. Your videos have valuable content as always. It's true what you say about creating a brand. There are so many great DJs that it's difficult to stand out from the rest. Besides, marketing is very important and it takes a lot of time to achieve our goals. I've been practicing for around a year and a half, but I'm shy and didn't dare to record myself. I finally did it for a contest. I uploaded the video, shared the link on my social media and... Only 1 view the first day 😅😂 It's easy to have a low self esteem with these amazing results, but I'll keep going until I'm noticed. Haha

Great advice 👏

Nice video ✌️

Great tips Carlo. I got caught in the trap of getting too much music and because i dont see artwork in RB, i only saw files and i didnt get to learn the tunes. Now i create a playlist in my djpool and come back to them in a few days time to see if i really need/want those tunes. this hugley stopped me getting too many tunes. for 30 years i never once made a playlist to play out from, it was always on the fly because i knew the songs. Now i take time to construct a playlist and this is so much better now. when i stream i know whats coming next and this takes so much stress away when live. 🔥

Very good video 👍

I did not expect the wise advice to take care of ourselves. Subscribed!

Thanks DJ Carlo! Btw ang ganda ng studio background

Great advice... not just for DJing, but for life in general. I might show this video to my middle school students! Some of them need help - :)

Man, your take on mental health and perspective is so true as a creative / music producer / DJ. Any little bit of subjective criticism can feel like the entire world is ending if you don't have the right mindset.

DJ CARLO 🎤 🎧 THANKS ONCE AGAIN, FOR THOSE , AWESOME , TIPS 👌 YOUR ROCK 🪨 🎸 🤟

This is a Master Class

Hay carlo..... love from srilanka..... l like your videos most 💖

you should do a video on dealing with negativity/criticism/hate as a dj soon

Galeng!

i havent djed for 6 or 7 years, i started, but had a huge life change before i could get really good, but the last year ive been enjoying VR and VRChat mainly, and there is actually quite a few people who dj in vr, and its pretty safe to say that there is a live dj almost 24/7 in vrchat if you know where to look. ive been to a few of them, though ive never actually been to a club in RL before. never had anyone to go with so never had a real reason to go by myself, but vr is a completely different story, so i figure why not get back into DJing. which means completely rebuilding my library from basically scratch while also juggling other bills as well

I usually sort my library by genre, i also usr the star rating as a energy indicator. 1 star is low energy and 5 is high😅

Being prepared and having everything organised gives benefits with everything that you do in life. Think that for a DJ with bookings could ruin his name faster than most other branches. Example: a tennis player at pro level doesn’t ruins his career by losing a few times. A dj who’s booked but doesn’t prepare his music and make’s a mess of it, could bring his name very quickly down. Preparation brings quality, better quality results with more bookings. It’s harder to build a name than bringing it down. Especially with this digital world where everything goes viral within seconds.

❤ Thanks 2 u ❤

Also invest in speakers, Way too many DJs out there trying to do 500 plus person events with two 500w rms point source systems..

All valid, I was on top of the game in the 90's... everything changed in the direction I hate. Gave up.

The song list was HILARIOUS BRO! Just farted and She never loved u

Will you please go a little more in depth on the Mixed in key software. Appreciate you help with my journey :D

2:31 now thats moves

"Over saturated industry." Damn..... & i thought it was over saturated in 1995. Promoters burned out without paying. Clubs only wanted to pay in drinks. & forget about it when the cops show up and people scatter when the lights go up. Words from an old burned out raver. Everybody wants to be a dj. Just like everybody wants to be a guitar player. Take a step back from the endless competition & do lights , laser & aways have an in.

Are you going to review the new alpha theta controller and wireless speaker that just came out?

i agree to everything

I’m not new to DJ equipment. In fact I’ve owned either turntables or a controller for over 20 years. Despite this I’m just now wanting to play music for others and for the past few weeks I’ve been trying to ask this. How do Dj’s craft sets (pick songs to chain together). ? I’m not talking about BPM; but more so I’m talking about the flow and energy from one song to the next. The primary genre of music I’ll be playing will be hip Hop RnB reggae funk and soul. For some their answer will be, “The crowd will dictate the songs” but that’s not the aim of the question. I’m looking for how they would dictate the flow internally and without a crowd to read or what they as a DJ default to. A great example could be a mix tape or when I’m djing I try to…. Shhhiiiiddd, is there a better way to ask this question?

I miss djaying. Only thing that gets me going. How I wish I could get back to that 😔😔

salute

I love the elevator music 🎉

(apologies for my English its not my first language) Do you have any advice for not finding music for your set you actually like or is on theme? Like for example i will really like 1 song and make it my core song or starting song for a set. But as i add more songs or play ones with it, it doesn't feel right and just feels like filler songs. Im not sure how to explain it but the sets i perform or make just doesnt feel right. It could be a bit of burnout but I'm not sure

Dig the video title 🦾🦾

Curious to know your thoughts on Laidback Luke's new setup?

This is very informative, and I'll be sure to put all of it into practice. Side note: This sounds too ChatGPT-ish. Consider using normal semi-formal language more so that your personality shines through too.

👌👍

Hey Carlo, i bought my very first ddj-400 a week ago and tomorrow i have been asked to play for 35 people. Im a bit stressed any tips for me?? 😅😰

Step 1. My library 😔 oh boy this is going to take a year.

LANGUAGE!!! 😂😂😂😂

My dad keeps reminding me about step 5

Boss, you've become Farfromweak at this point.

@DJ CARLO, can you do a video on Quick mixing and why it is important to no matter what music u play underground house music top 40 etc Especially with tiktok and people with Short attention spam People these days don't listen to whole songs because it gets boring.

You need write a book bro.

👍

First🇵🇭

There is like 3 MacBook in this video 😮😮😮

I have to tell you a little story. I had to perform in a club in Spain. A friend of mine (also DJ) was there too, ready to go on stage. I say to him.....HE Eric, did you hear it yet? Eric says what is it. I say to him......those guys from NASA!!!...... Eric looks at me and says what is wrong with NASA??? I don't understand??... So I say to him. NASA shot a rocket into space with 2 monkeys in it, and they piloted the rocket themselves, flew 3 circles around the Earth, and then flew back independently and landed on Earth. ....Eric looks at me and says .....so what?,. I continue my story, there is more, I say. listen ..... I'll go ahead and tell him ..... Well those guys from NASA had a 3rd monkey but he didn't come along because there wasn't enough space in the rocket. And then they taught that monkey to singronize records because otherwise that monkey had nothing to do. And what is the case now. he has to play records after you. because he has become the main act. I say to Erik.....good luck guy, make something great tonight.. I had to laugh and Erik laughed too. But that evening Erik did not perform as well as he normally would. He said to me later that evening that he kept having the thought of that monkey in his head... I had distracted his concentration with that. And that is of course a NO NO

Day 1 of asking for a Hardstyle or a techno x trance mix
